How to Participate

Your story is an essential part of Swarthmore’s international student history, and we would love to hear from you! By sharing your experiences, you help build a richer, more connected international community – one that bridges generations of Swatties who have navigated similar challenges, triumphs, and transformations.

Participating is simple:

  • Fill out [our form] to share your story in writing. You can reflect on your time at Swarthmore, your journey beyond, or any experiences that shaped your international student experience.
  • Prefer a conversation? Sign up for a Zoom call [option listed on our form], and we’ll interview you to capture your story in a more personal way. We’ll do the writing, so all you need to do is share.

Every story matters, and every perspective adds to the collective history we are building. Whether you submit a few thoughts or dive deep into your experiences, your voice will help inspire, connect, and support both current and future international students. We’re excited to hear from you!
